Application filed February 21, 1920. Serial No. 360,280.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, WALTER Conner, a subject of the King of GreatBritain, residing at Calgary, in the Province of .Arlberta and Dominionof Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buttons;and ldo hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will onaole'others skilled in. theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to new and useiiul improvements in buttons andhas for its primary object the provision of a stud haying threadedconnection with the body of the button so that the same can be readilyapplied and removed from a garment, thereby obviating; the customarymethod ofsecuring buttons to garments and also when in use will not tearor injure the garment.

Another object of this invention is the provision oi a button of theabove stated character, which shall be simple, durable and eilicient,and which may be manufac tured and sold at a comparatively low cost.

il ith these and other objects in View as will become more apparent asthe description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novelfeatures of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as willbe hercii'iatter more fully described and claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had tothe following description and accompanying draw ing, in which Figure l,is a side elevation of a button constructed in accordance with myinvention and illustrating the same applied to the cloth of a garment,

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View illustrating the manner ofconnecting the stud to the body of the button,

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the stud.

Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 1. indicates the head orbody of a button which may have its outer face ornamented in any desireddesign and has formed upon its inner face a tubular neck or shank 2 thatis internally screw threaded.

A stud 3 consisting of a base l has formed thereon a screw threadedshank 5 which is provided with a pointedend 6 so that the same can bereadily pushed through the fabric oi a garment and then threaded intothe neck'Q for securing the body or head i to the garment. it is to benoted that the neck 2 is of sufficient size so as to prevent tearing andmutilation of the fabric oil the garment when applied thereto. After thestud. has been passed through the fabric oi a garment, the neck 2 isthreaded thereon and will be drawn against the fabric of the garment tofirmly secure the same thereto.

While I have shown and described the 5 preferred embodiment ofinventioinit will be understood that minor changes in I construction,combination and arrangement of parts may be made without departing fromthe spirit and scope oi. the invention as claimed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claimisa- A button comprisinga head, a cylindrical shank on said head having its end enlarged and ofannular shape to provide a bearing taco adapted to engage a garment,said shank being disposable in a button hole and maintained therein bysaid end and said head, said end serving to space apart portions of agarment and being oi? a diameter greater than the diameter of the shank,said shank having a screw threaded bore, an annular base ofsubstantially the same diameter as the bearing head of the shank andadapted to engage the op 'iosite face of the garment from that engagedby the bearing end of the shank, and a screw threaded stud on the basehaving a pointed end a'dapt- 1 ed to be pushed through the garmentand'90 into the bore oi the shank, said stud being screw threaded intosaid here to firmly se cure the device to the garment.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature in presence of two witnesses.I r
